A. Informative Speech
1. Speeches of Objects- as the word is used here, "objects" include anything that is visible, tangible, and stable in form.
Objects may have moving parts or be alive, they may include places, structures, animals, even people.
Example: The Bible, The bongabon river, The human brain, cellphones, Miss Universe, Internet, The west
philippine sea, your crush.
You will not have to tell your classmates everything about any of these objects. Instead, you will choose your subject.
* Cellphone
(Yep, it's your turn to fill the blank. We got this bud! It will be a secret :)
2. Speeches about Processes- explaining a process explains how something is done. The
purpose is to describe a method or operation so that the intended audience will understand what
is done, what is carried out by man, by a machine or by nature.
Examples:
- How steel is made up from iron, how glass is made, how diamonds are mined.
- How a clock works, how a Xerox copier works, how a gasoline engine operates.
- How sound waves are transmitted, how rust is formed, how food is digested, how earthquake
happens, and how cute your teacher is ( well, that's natural 😊)
3. Speeches about Events- dictionary defines event as anything that happens or regarded as
happening. By thia definition, the following are examples of suitable subjects for informative
speeches about events.
Examples:
Titanic
Yolanda Storm
Gay Marriage
- To inform my audience why so many lives were lost when the "unsinkable" ocean liner, Titanic,
sank.
Examples:
Feminism
Theories of Evolution
Conservatism
Compose a short speech you want to tell yourself 5 years from now. ( 100-150 words)
1. The Impromptu Speech- is done on the spur of the moment, with very little time for
presentation (maybe a second or most, a matter of minutes) but in a few seconds, you can form
a specific purpose, or atleast a line of development.
In impromptu speaking, you may be guided by the nature of the occassion, as it is speaking with
very little preparation, you might find yourself being asked to react to a certain issue or give your
idea in a recitation.
I will give you 5 minutes to contact me or message me after reading this and I will give you the
question. You have to answer it directly or you will have no points for this activity. ( Your clock is
ticking 😊 )
2. Extemporaneous Speech- is prepared in advance but delievered spontaneously. Extempore
means growing "out of time" or coming at the time of delievery.
Most of our speeches should be given extemporaneously. Doing so allows more control of the
speech than in impromptu speaking, and yet it sill maintains spontaneity. You are prepared. You
can adapt to the audience as needed.
Also, with enough preparation, you can maintain poise and confidence in your ability to
communicate well.
(make sure you wear your best suit and maintain a poise)
CONGRATULATIONS BUDDY!
YOU ARE WAY TOO GOOD!
